The effect of estradiol dipropionate (EDP) or calcium glucoheptonate (Ca) on the morphology and stereology of the PRL cells in 14-month-old Wistar female rats were studied. The animals were treated daily with EDP in the dose of 0.625 mg/kg b.w. or calcium glucoheptonate (Ca; 11.4 mg/kg b.w.) for two weeks. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that the multiple application of EDP to middle-aged females results in increased morphological parameters of pituitary mammotrophs. However, in calcium treated animals the morphological characteristics of mammotrophs were not significantly changed.
